  2. Chapter 6: CPU Scheduling • Basic Concepts • Scheduling Criteria • Scheduling Algorithms • Thread Scheduling • Multiple-Processor Scheduling • Real-Time CPU Scheduling • Operating Systems Examples • Algorithm Evaluation

  3. Objectives • To introduce CPU scheduling • the basis for multiprogrammedOS • To describe various CPU-scheduling algorithms • To discuss how to select a CPU-scheduling algorithm • evaluation criteria • To examine the scheduling algorithms of different OSs

  4. Basic Concepts • Maximum CPU utilization • multiprogramming • CPU–I/O Burst Cycle • a cycle of CPU execution and I/O wait • CPU burst followed by I/O burst • CPU burst distribution is of main concern

  5. Histogram of CPU-burst Times

  6. CPU Scheduler • Short-term scheduler • Selects from among the processes in ready queue, and • allocates the CPU to one of them • Queue may be ordered in various ways • Scheduling time 1. Switches from running to waiting state 2. Switches from running to ready state 3. Switches from waiting to ready • Terminates • Scheduling types • nonpreemptive • Scheduling under 1 and 4 is • preemptive • access to shared data • preemption while in kernel mode • interrupts occurring during crucial OS activities

  7. Dispatcher • Can pass control of CPU to the process selected • switching context • switching to user mode • jumping to the proper location in the user program to restart that program • Dispatch latency • The time OS takes for the dispatcher to stop one process and start another running

  8. Concepts • CPU utilization • keep the CPU as busy as possible • Throughput • # of processes that complete their execution per time unit • Turnaround time • amount of time to execute a particular process • Waiting time • amount of time a process has been waiting in the ready queue • Response time • amount of time from when a request was submitted until the first response is produced

  9. Scheduling Algorithm Optimization Criteria • Max CPU utilization • Max throughput • Min turnaround time • Min waiting time • Min response time

  10. P1 P2 P3 0 24 27 30 FCFS Scheduling - case1 ProcessBurst Time P1 24 P2 3 P3 3 • Suppose the arriving order: P1 , P2 , P3 The Gantt Chart for the schedule is: • Waiting time for P1 = 0; P2 = 24; P3 = 27 • Average waiting time: (0 + 24 + 27)/3 = 17

  11. P2 P3 P1 0 3 6 30 FCFS Scheduling – case 2 Suppose the arriving order: P2 , P3 , P1 • The Gantt chart for the schedule is: • Waiting time for P1 = 6;P2 = 0; P3 = 3 • Average waiting time: (6 + 0 + 3)/3 = 3 • Much better than case1 • Short process first

  12. Shortest-Job-First Scheduling • SJF • Associate with each process the length of its next CPU burst • Use these lengths to schedule the process with the shortest time • SJF is optimal • Gives minimum average waiting time for a given set of processes • The difficulty is knowing the length of the next CPU request • Could ask the user

  13. P3 P2 P4 P1 3 9 16 24 0 Example of SJF ProcessArriva l TimeBurst Time P10.0 6 P2 2.0 8 P34.0 7 P45.0 3 • SJF scheduling chart • Average waiting time = (3 + 16 + 9 + 0) / 4 = 7

  14. Determining Length of Next CPU Burst • Estimate the next CPU burst • Then pick process with shortest predicted next CPU burst • Using the length of previous CPU bursts, and • Using exponential averaging • Commonly, α set to ½ • Preemptive version called shortest-remaining-time-first

  15. Prediction of the Length of the Next CPU Burst

  16. Examples of Exponential Averaging •  =0 • n+1 = n • Recent history does not count •  =1 • n+1 =  tn • Only the actual last CPU burst counts • If we expand the formula, we get: n+1 =  tn+(1 - ) tn-1+ … +(1 -  )j tn-j+ … +(1 -  )n +1 0

  17. P1 P3 P4 P2 P1 0 5 1 10 17 26 Example of Shortest-remaining-time-first • Consider varying arrival times and preemption to the analysis ProcessAarriArrival TimeTBurst Time P10 8 P2 1 4 P32 9 P43 5 • Preemptive SJF Gantt Chart • Average waiting time • [(10-1)+(1-1)+(17-2)+5-3)]/4 = 26/4 = 6.5 msec

  18. Priority Scheduling • A priority number (integer) is associated with each process • Smallest integer = highest priority • The CPU is allocated to the process with the highest priority • Preemptive • Nonpreemptive • Problem • Starvation • low priority processes may never execute • Solution: Aging • increase the priority of the process as time progresses

  19. P1 P5 P3 P4 P2 0 6 1 16 18 19 Example of Priority Scheduling ProcessAarriBurst TimeTPriority P1 10 3 P2 1 1 P32 4 P41 5 P5 5 2 • Priority scheduling Gantt Chart • Average waiting time = 8.2 msec

  20. Round Robin (RR) • Each process gets a small unit of CPU time (q) • After q has elapsed • the process is preempted, and • added to the end of the ready queue • Timer interrupts every quantum to schedule next process • No process waits more than (n-1)q time units • If there are n processes in the ready queue and the time quantum is q • Performance • q large  FIFO • q small  q overhead is too high • Incurs too many context switch

  21. P1 P2 P3 P1 P1 P1 P1 P1 0 10 14 18 22 26 30 4 7 Example of RR with Time Quantum = 4 ProcessBurst Time P1 24 P2 3 P3 3 • The Gantt chart is: • Typically, higher average turnaround than SJF, but better response • q should be large compared to context switch time • q usually 10ms to 100ms, context switch < 10 usec

  22. Time Quantum and Context Switch Time

  23. Turnaround Time Varies With The Time Quantum 80% of CPU bursts should be shorter than q

  24. Multilevel Queue • Ready queue is partitioned into separate queues • foreground(interactive) • background (batch) • Each queue has its own scheduling algorithm: • foreground – RR • background – FCFS

  25. Multilevel Queue Scheduling

  26. Multilevel Feedback Queue (MFQ) • A process can move between the various queues • Such as aging implementation • MFQ scheduler defined by the following parameters: • number of queues • scheduling algorithms for each queue • method used to determine when to upgrade a process • method used to determine when to demote a process • method used to determine which queue a process will enter when that process needs service

  27. Example of MFQ • Three queues: • Q0 – RR with time quantum 8 ms • Q1– RR time quantum 16 ms • Q2 – FCFS • Scheduling • A new job enters Q0withFCFS • When it gains CPU, job receives 8 ms • If it does not finish in 8 ms, job is moved to Q1 • At Q1 job is again served FCFS and receives 16 additional ms • If it still does not complete, it is preempted and moved to queue Q2

  28. Thread Scheduling • Distinction • between user-level and kernel-level threads • Process-Contention Scope (PCS) • User-level threads scheduling to run on LWP • Scheduling competition is within the process • Typically done via priority set by programmer • System-Contention Scope (SCS) • Kernel thread scheduling • Competition among all threads in system

  29. Pthread Scheduling • Either PCS or SCS • Can be specified during thread creation • PTHREAD_SCOPE_PROCESS schedules threads using PCS scheduling • PTHREAD_SCOPE_SYSTEM schedules threads using SCS scheduling • Can be limited by OS • Linux and Mac OS X only allow PTHREAD_SCOPE_SYSTEM

  30. Pthread Scheduling API #include <pthread.h> #include <stdio.h> #define NUM THREADS 5 int main(intargc, char *argv[]) { inti, scope;pthread t tid[NUM THREADS]; pthreadattr t attr; /* get the default attributes */ pthreadattrinit(&attr); /* first inquire on the current scope */ if (pthreadattrgetscope(&attr, &scope) != 0) fprintf(stderr, "Unable to get scheduling scope\n"); else { if (scope == PTHREAD SCOPE PROCESS) printf("PTHREAD SCOPE PROCESS"); else if (scope == PTHREAD SCOPE SYSTEM) printf("PTHREAD SCOPE SYSTEM"); elsefprintf(stderr, "Illegal scope value.\n"); }

  31. Pthread Scheduling API /* set the scheduling algorithm to PCS or SCS */ pthread attr setscope(&attr, PTHREAD SCOPE SYSTEM); /* create the threads */ for (i = 0; i < NUM THREADS; i++) pthread create(&tid[i],&attr,runner,NULL); /* now join on each thread */ for (i = 0; i < NUM THREADS; i++) pthread join(tid[i], NULL); } /* Each thread will begin control in this function */ void *runner(void *param){ /* do some work ... */ pthread exit(0); }

  32. Multiple-Processor Scheduling (MPS) • Homogeneousprocessorsin a system • Asymmetric multiprocessing • only one processor accesses the system data structures • Symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) • each processor is self-scheduling • all processes in common ready queue, or • each has its own private queue of ready processes • Processor affinity • process has affinity for processor on which it is currently running • soft affinity • hard affinity • Variations including processor sets

  33. NUMA and CPU Scheduling Note that memory-placement algorithms can also consider affinity

  34. Load Balancing • One type of MPS • If use SMP • need to keep all CPUs loaded for efficiency • Load balancing • attempts to keep workload evenly distributed • Push migration • periodic task checks load on each processor, and • if found not balanced, pushes task from overloaded CPU to other CPUs • Pull migration • idle processors pulls waiting task from busy processor

  35. Multicore Processors • Multiple cores are placed on a same physical chip • Faster and consumes less power • Multiple threads per core also growing • Takes advantage of memory stall • Make progress on another thread while memory retrieve happens

  36. Multithreaded Multicore System

  37. Real-Time CPU Scheduling • Soft real-time systems • no guarantee to get task served • Hard real-time systems • task must be serviced by its deadline • Performance • Affected by two types of latencies • Interrupt latency • time from arrival of interrupt to start of routine that services interrupt • Dispatch latency • time for schedule to take current process off CPU and switch to another

  38. Real-Time CPU Scheduling (Cont.) • Conflict phase of dispatch latency • Preemption of any process running in kernel mode • Release by low-priority process of resources needed by high-priority processes

  39. Priority-based Scheduling • Real-time scheduling • scheduler must support preemptive, priority-based scheduling • But only guarantees soft real-time • For hard real-time must also provide ability to meet deadlines • Processes have new characteristics • periodic ones require CPU at constant intervals • Has processing time t, deadline d, period p • 0 ≤ t ≤ d ≤ p • Rate of periodic task is 1/p

  40. Virtualization and Scheduling • Virtualization software • schedules multiple guests onto CPU(s) • Each guest doing its own scheduling • Not knowing it does notown the CPUs • Can result in poor response time • Can affect time-of-day clocks in guests

  41. Rate Montonic Scheduling • A priority is assigned • Based on the inverse of its period • Shorter periods = higher priority • Longer periods = lower priority • Example • P1is assigned a higher priority than P2.

  42. Missed Deadlines with Rate Monotonic Scheduling

  43. Earliest Deadline First Scheduling • EDF • Priorities are assigned according to deadlines: • the earlier the deadline, the higher the priority • the later the deadline, the lower the priority

  44. Proportional Share Scheduling • T shares • are allocated among all processes in the system • An application • receives N shares where N < T • This ensures • each application will receive N / T of the total processor time

  45. POSIX Real-Time Scheduling • The POSIX.1b standard • API provides functions for managing real-time threads • Twoscheduling classes for real-time threads: • SCHED_FIFO • threads are scheduled using a FCFS strategy with a FIFO queue • SCHED_RR • similar to SCHED_FIFO except time-slicing occurs for threads of equal priority • Two functions for getting and setting scheduling policy: • pthreadattrgetsched policy(pthreadattr t *attr, int *policy) • pthreadattrsetsched policy(pthreadattr t *attr, int policy)

  46. POSIX Real-Time Scheduling API #include <pthread.h> #include <stdio.h> #define NUM THREADS 5 int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int i, policy; pthread t tid[NUM THREADS]; pthread attr t attr; /* get the default attributes */ pthread attr init(&attr); /* get the current scheduling policy */ if (pthread attr getschedpolicy(&attr, &policy) != 0) fprintf(stderr, "Unable to get policy.\n"); else { if (policy == SCHED OTHER) printf("SCHED OTHER\n"); else if (policy == SCHED RR) printf("SCHED RR\n"); else if (policy == SCHED FIFO) printf("SCHED FIFO\n"); }

  47. POSIX Real-Time Scheduling API (Cont.) /* set the scheduling policy - FIFO, RR, or OTHER */ if (pthread attr setschedpolicy(&attr, SCHED FIFO) != 0) fprintf(stderr, "Unable to set policy.\n"); /* create the threads */ for (i = 0; i < NUM THREADS; i++) pthread create(&tid[i],&attr,runner,NULL); /* now join on each thread */ for (i = 0; i < NUM THREADS; i++) pthread join(tid[i], NULL); } /* Each thread will begin control in this function */ void *runner(void *param){ /* do some work ... */ pthread exit(0); }

  48. Operating System Examples • Linux scheduling • Windows scheduling • Solaris scheduling

  49. Linux Scheduling Through Version 2.5 • Prior to version 2.5 • standard UNIX scheduling algorithm • Version 2.5 • Moved to constant order O(1) scheduling time • Preemptive, priority based • Two priority ranges: time-sharing and real-time • Real-time range from 0 to 99 and nice value from 100 to 140 • Map into global priority with numerically lower values indicating higher priority • Higher priority gets larger q • Task run-able as long as time left in time slice (active) • If no time left (expired), not run-able until all other tasks use their slices • All run-able tasks tracked in per-CPU run-queue data structure • Two priority arrays (active, expired) • Tasks indexed by priority • When no more active, arrays are exchanged • Worked well, but poor response times for interactive processes

  50. Linux Scheduling in Version 2.6.23 + • Completely Fair Scheduler (CFS) • scheduler maintains per task virtual run time in variable vruntime • Associated with decay factor based on priority of task – lower priority is higher decay rate • Normal default priority yields virtual run time = actual run time • To decide next task to run, scheduler picks task with lowest virtual run time • Scheduling classes • Each has specific priority • Scheduler picks highest priority task in highest scheduling class • Based on proportion of CPU time • 2 scheduling classes included, others can be added • default • real-time • Quantum calculated • based on nice value from -20 to +19 • Lower value is higher priority
